Equipment
- rimmed baking sheets
- Medium bowl
- rubber scraper
- 1-Tablespoon scoop
Ingredients
- 18.4 oz Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 32 Andes Mints unwrapped
- Sprinkles or crushed candy canes both optional
Instructions
PREPARE OVEN AND BAKING SHEET:
- Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
MAKE THE COOKIE DOUGH:
- Add brownie mix, egg, and butter to a medium bowl and mix until combined.
- Use a 1-Tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the dough 2 ½ inches apart. Bake, one baking sheet at a time, for 8 minutes.
ADD THE ANDES MINTS AND DECORATE:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place an Andes Mint on the top of each cookie.
- Let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes, and then use the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate over the top of each cookie.
- Decorate with sprinkles or crushed candy canes.
- Repeat with the remaining cookie dough, Andes Mints, and sprinkles.
TO FINISH:
- Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature until the melted chocolate has set, about 1-2 hours. Serve or keep covered at room temperature.
Notes
-
- Serve: Serve within two hours of baking the cookies.
-
- Store: Place the brownie cookies in an airtight container and store them for up to one week.
-
- Freeze: Freeze the cookie dough after rolling it into balls and placing them on a cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the dough is completely frozen. Place the frozen cookie dough balls in a Ziplock freezer bag and pull them out to bake when you need them. You can also freeze the brownie cookies after making them. Just wait until they are cooled completely and then wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container in the freezer.
